Have you ever wondered what the difference is between an STD and an STI? Or what causes an STI, which STIs are curable, or when you should be tested for STIs? Did you know the most common symptom of an STI is no symptoms at all? Join April and Danielle as they explore these questions and more!
Most of us learned about STIs in school as a scare tactic for why we should not have sex. But actually, STIs are quite common, especially among people aged 15 to 24. So, we need to talk about them in a thoughtful, non-frightening way to avoid spreading stigma.
Yes, being sexual comes with risk but it also can provide physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits. That’s why we want you to have unbiased, factual information to help you decide which risks you are willing to take and which you are not, presently and in the future.
